The sophistication of technology in the health and beauty world is making it increasingly easier for medical professionals to provide satisfactory results to patients. One of them is LAMS, which is an advanced liposuction method for removing body fat to achieve an ideal body shape, especially for women. What LAMS is, its benefits, and the cost range of LAMS at the Akasia 365mc clinic are explained in the following article.

What is the LAMS Method?
Now, achieving your dream body goals can be done in various ways, besides diet and exercise. As the medical world evolved, especially in the health and beauty sectors, the LAMS method innovation from Korea was born. What is LAMS, or Local Anesthetic Minimally Invasive Liposuction? It is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure performed under local anesthesia to achieve the ideal body of your dreams. This technique allows the patient to remain conscious throughout the process, making it safer and minimizing pain, thus keeping the patient safe.
The LAMS method uses a small instrument (cannula) to precisely remove fat from specific areas of the body desired by the patient, without the need for large incisions. This procedure is suitable for patients who want body contouring by smoothing out specific areas of the body and removing stubborn fat, but with faster recovery than conventional liposuction.

Purpose and Benefits of LAMS for Patients

LAMS Goals for Patients

The LAMS procedure is designed to help patients address fat accumulation in specific areas of the body that are difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise. The main goal is:
  • Effectively eliminates localized fat, focusing on specific areas with stubborn fat, such as the chin, upper arms, or abdomen.
  • Shaping the body contour for a more proportional appearance. This will help create body contouring or an ideal and harmonious body shape according to the patient's wishes.
  • Minimizing the risks of general anesthesia procedures. By using local anesthesia, patients can avoid the risk of complications from total anesthesia.
  • Being a safe alternative for those who don't want major surgery. The LAMS method procedure is very suitable for patients who want instant and safe results without having to undergo major surgery or hospitalization.

Benefits of LAMS Experienced by Patients

  • Minimal Pain and More Comfortable – Because local anesthesia is used, the patient will not feel pain during the procedure and will not need to recover from the effects of general anesthesia.
  • Shorter Recovery Time – The healing process is much faster compared to traditional liposuction. Patients can usually return to light activities within 1–2 days.
  • Quick Results Are Visible – Changes in body shape can start to become noticeable a few days to weeks after the procedure, depending on the area and the patient's body condition.
  • Minimal Scars and Marks – The incisions used are very small (about 2–3 mm), so they don't leave noticeable scars and don't require large stitches.
  • Lower Risk of Complications – Without general anesthesia and with a minimally invasive approach, the risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications is greatly minimized.
  • High Precision for Small Areas – It is very suitable for patients who want to improve small and detailed body parts, such as a double chin or the area around the knees.
  • Boosting Self-Confidence – With a more ideal and desired body shape, patients feel more satisfied with their self-appearance.

What is the Procedure for Performing LAMS?

The LAMS liposuction procedure is considered effective and safe without requiring hospitalization. However, like other medical procedures, LAMS also requires some preparation and consultation with a specialist surgeon, including care for the Infinite LAMS and Lipolite methods. Here are the steps the patient will go through before and after LAMS:
  • Initial Consultation and Evaluation – Before the procedure, the patient will undergo a consultation with the doctor. If the patient is deemed suitable and agrees, the procedure will then be scheduled. This consultation includes:
    • Determining the body area to be shaped
    • Assessing fat thickness and skin condition
    • Providing medical history
    • Receiving an explanation of the procedure, risks, and realistic outcomes
  • Marking the Action Area – Before the procedure begins, the doctor will mark the areas of the body where liposuction will be performed using a medical marker as a guide during the procedure.
  • Administration of Local Anesthesia – The doctor will inject a local anesthetic (tumescence) into the marked area. The patient will remain conscious, but the area will be completely numb. This fluid serves to:
    • Eliminating pain during the procedure
    • Facilitating the liposuction process
    • Reducing bleeding and bruising
  • Microtome Section – After the anesthesia takes effect, the doctor will make a small incision, about 2–3 mm long, in the skin as an entry point for the liposuction tool (cannula). This incision is so small that the scar is barely visible after healing.
  • Liposuction – The doctor inserts a thin cannula into the fatty tissue and begins to suction the fat with slow, precise movements, and the amount of fat suctioned varies depending on the body area. The fat will exit through a tube into a special container. This process is, of course, done carefully to maintain the body's proportions.
  • Closure and Initial Recovery – After the liposuction procedure is complete, the next step is the process of closing the patient's body part, which involves:
    • For small cuts that don't need stitches, just cover them with medical tape.
    • The area will be bandaged, and the patient will wear a special corset or pressure garment to aid recovery and reduce swelling.
  • Recovery and Follow-up – The patient can go home the same day because hospitalization is not necessary. Mild pain, swelling, or bruising may appear for a few days, but it can be managed with medication prescribed by the doctor. Patients are advised not to engage in strenuous activities for 3-7 days, but light activities are usually safe after 24-48 hours. The final results usually start to become visible within 2–4 weeks, and optimal results are seen 2–3 months after the swelling has completely subsided.

Mild Side Effects After LAMS

Although LAMS is considered safe, some mild side effects that may occur include. The risk of serious complications is very rare, especially when performed by a certified specialist surgeon trained in Korea. Here are some side effects of LAMS:
  • Temporary bruising or swelling
  • Mild pain in the treatment area
  • Temporary numbness
  • Mild reaction to anesthesia
